10 World Class Players Who Refused to Train to Force a Transfer

#4 Ousmane Dembele: Borussia Dortmund to Barcelona

Ousmane Dembele saw the chance to move to Barcelona and took it

Here we go, it's Barcelona again. After Neymar's departure, the Catalan club saw Ousmane Dembele as the next young winger who could make it big. He was ripping defences apart alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund and they clearly saw some value in the youngster.

When Dembele got word of Barcelona's interest, his head was turned. Dortmund had rejected an initial bid from the La Liga giants saw Dembele skip a training session - a move that saw him suspended by the club.

The move even saw him suspended for the club's first DFB Pokal game. The club's sporting director Michael Zorc said: "Ousmane Dembele was missing from training (on Thursday) without excuse and obviously took such a step consciously. Obviously, we will be sanctioning such wrong behaviour.

"In addition after discussions with the coach we suspended the player from match and training action until next week and after our German Cup game on the weekend."

Ultimately, Dembele got his wish after Dortmund accepted an initial £96.8m transfer fee that could potentially rise to £135.5m.

Dembele eventually moved to Barcelona after a protracted transfer saga
